Chapter 32: Amber
There were two rings inside, on a bed of clean cotton.
The first was glass.
A thin band of deep, dark amber, so smooth it looked poured, with one tiny bubble caught inside it.
I held it up to the skylight.
The starlight came through it gold.
"It took forty-one tries," Matt said. "Rings are small. Small is hard."
"Forty-one."
"Every one."
Under it, on the cotton, was the second ring.
A small diamond in old gold, worn thin on one side from sixty years of my grandmother's dishes.
"I went back to the jeweler the day after you sold it," he said. "Told him to hold it. Paid him forty dollars every Friday since April."
"Matt."
"Last payment was Friday." He took it out. "Your hand."
I gave him my right hand.
He slid my grandmother's ring back where it had always been.
Then he took the amber one and held out his other hand, palm up, and waited.
I put my left hand in his.
It fit.
Of course it fit.
"You measured my finger while I was asleep," I said.
"With calipers," he said. "It's accurate."
